Kickapoo seniors Hannah Collins and Jordan Wersinger knew going into Saturday's state championship game that it would be their last in a Kickapoo uniform.

They also knew how it felt to win a title — they beat Kirkwood just two years ago.

But on Saturday, they learned what it was like to be on the losing end.

With the Lady Chiefs down 63-42 with 1:57 in the game, Kickapoo head coach Jim Pendergrass subbed out Wersinger for the last time.
